Drama High by Michael Sokolove (aka Rise)

  • What it's about: The adaptation, which was retitled Rise, follows high school drama teacher Lou Mazzuchelli and his talented students. The series was met with near-instant backlash when it was announced that the character of Lou would be straight in the show, rather than his real-life counterpart, a gay man.
  • Who's starring: How I Met Your Mother's Josh Radnor played Lou, while Rosie Perez and Moana's Auli'i Cravalho also costarred. The show was canceled after one season.
  • The premiere date: March 13 on NBC
